Brutal, but at least easy to remedy. What kind was it?

Corsair RMx 850W (2021). It’s coincidentally the only thing I bought from Amazon.

On another note, the Microcenter here in Houston pretty much drops GPUs every morning during the week per the guys there. They had over 100 AMD cards on Saturday in store for the drops this week. They do a queue system starting outside the store at 9 AM. You are picked by 9:30 if you got a card.

It's true. My Louisiana self was amazed when I went into a Microcenter for the first time. I still walk around and look at random stuff even when I am just picking up something I reserved.

Bought a 77 inch LG CX there a few weeks back massively on sale too.

I was able to get a MSI Ventus 2x 3070. (I wasn't quick enough for the FE)

After trying for over 10 months, it didn't seem real when I was actually able to check out with it in my cart.

queue addon


there was an issue with it today. the queue would reset for some reason. the queue would count down, you'd go to verify your account and then the queue would start over. not sure if it was due to the plug in or not.
